Foresight Model

Foresight opted for a social enterprise model rather than a charitable organisation to have a self-sustain enterprise. To do justice with the vision of the organisation, primary focus was kept on Entrepreneurship development and capability building of communities.

For empowerment of rural communities, Foresight opted for a model to work closely with rural communities inspired the idea of PURA (Provision of Urban amenities in Rural Areas) put forward by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

Inspired by PURA model Foresight setup a Rural Development Institution in the year 2003 situated in a block town Kharkhoda, Dist. Sonepat, Haryana to provide Electronic, Economic and Knowledge Connectivity to a cluster of more than 40 villages. The institution setup under the name as NAV-PRABHANAM (Means a new beginning) and taken up programs to empower rural communities specially Farmers, Youth, Rural Women and Panchayats.

To promote entrepreneurship and employability among youth, the strategic model was evolved based on developing institute’s network for marginalized, rural and backward communities with a special focus on women. Training centers are developed for students from low-income and middle-class families to offer them employable IT (Information Technology) skills. Once Proof of Concept (POC) was established, Foresight brought forward a model of social franchising to offer a business model with small investment to help First Generation Entrepreneurs.   These centres run by entrepreneurs; revenues thus generated are ploughed back into research & development work for the development of communities.

This approach brought forward a self-sustain Social Enterprise Model which has ensure consistency in carry forward the programs in our journey of more than two decades.

For empowerment of rural communities, Foresight opted for a model to work closely with rural communities inspired the idea of PURA (Provision of Urban amenities in Rural Areas) put forward by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.

Idea of foresight is A commitment with passion to work for society to bring the change driven by the spirit of equality in terms of access to knowledge, skills, financial independence and enabling environment for growth irrespective of gender, caste, creed and religion.
